This is my absolute FAVOURITE restaurant in London! It's so unassuming inside, but the food is…read moremind blowing. Simple Italian food done perfectly. The staff and owners are always lovely. I'm not even joking...when my English husband and I were choosing between Seattle WA and London Vasco and Piero's was part of the conversation. I highly recommend eating here. It's obviously a Soho staple as we have seen many people from the theater/movie world eating here as well. They have a new location and it is just 3-minutes from their old place. 11 D'Arblay Street, London, W1F 8DT

Came here on a whim because we were hungry. Food was great for the most part, but we were upset by…read morethe small starters you could purchase. We purchased all three - olives, Parmesan crisps, and bread. Olives were yummy, but we were super disappointed in the bread. We paid $5 for a cut up French roll that was dry. If we're paying $5 for bread we would've at least liked a cut up baguette or some sort of bread that provided larger pieces. We didn't even need homemade bread, but a cut up French roll that came with about 6 pieces half the size of my palm is really quite absurd. Our hotel gave us complimentary bread at dinner that was homemade, warm, and fresh! The Parmesan crisps (also $5) weren't as bad as the bread, but they were just bleh. We've bought better at Costco in the US. Lastly, my brother ordered the pasta with meat sauce and it was very watery. Not much of a sauce, just watery ground beef + pork. Service was wonderful though, I wish we got the name of our server she was great :)

What a disappointing experience for our last night in London. (The "outside" pictures here are…read moreoutdated; the restaurant has moved into a different space on a pedestrian street in Soho, with an updated feel.) We first were sat in an area where there should not even be a table, as much as I am sympathetic to the need to make a profit in a difficult industry. We were backed up to the server area (POS system, etc.) and fire extinguisher setup. We asked the nice Scottish hostess about it, and after a bit, she had us sat upstairs. If nothing else, the ambiance was incredible: trendy without trying too hard, relaxed, and a bit mediterranean in London! The service was hilariously slow, as if Mr. Bean was managing the waitstaff. It took at least 20 minutes just to get water. We each got an appetizer. My shrimp dish was revolting. The heads were on, which itself is fine, but what floored me was the lack of attention to detail...overcooked shrimp, to the point of being mushy. Worse yet, the lemon ish sauce it was drowning in was sour in the worst ways, basically edible astringent. The ravioli I got later was not as bad, but largely flavorless and lukewarm at best. It had clearly been sitting, waiting to get picked up, not only because of the temperature, but another basic cooking mistake - broken sauce. There was the sauce, and then the oil pooling around it. Amateurish stuff that, while not expensive in this area of London, was still not worth the price point...

We picked this restaurant for dinner during a recent trip to London based on a review on Yelp and…read moreit lived up to expectations! It is a small sit, so reservations are a must, although they did accommodate some walk-ins. Everything was freshly made which added to an elevated experience. Service was perfect balance of being prepared to execute as well as being able to spending time getting to know each other. This palace is highly recommended!

This place was quite good but I don't think it was amazing and here's why:…read more 1 - you have to be a BIG fan of pecorino cheese. My mom is, which is why we went but there are rather limited options, at least on pasta courses, that don't include pecorino. 2 - we tried three different pasta dishes. What made them truly stand out was the freshness of the pasta. That said, the sauces weren't remarkable. I tried a special pasta with pecorino, butternut squash, and mushrooms which was nice and not heavy but not partial flavorful. 3 - the ambiance is great if you like a small restaurant- with maybe 10 tables and 500 sq ft of space, this restaurant has character and charm. 4 - the service was outstanding. The staff were kind and efficient. 5 - the dessert was just OK - had some scoops of ice cream and the peanutella was outstanding while the strawberry and the pistachio were just fine. 6 - the appetizer cheese plate was the real highlight of the night here. Fresh cold cuts and cheese with the most wonderful fig jam. All in all; this is a good stop and you certainly won't have a bad experience! Perhaps just not the most notable.
